Ingredients

  • store-bought pizza crust fresh or ready-made
  • 1 small pumpkin peeled and cubed
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup white Sauvignon Blanc wine
  • 2 sprigs of fresh rosemary
  • 4-6 fresh sage leaves
  • 2 sweet onions sliced thin

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Cook Pumpkin: In a large pan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the cubed pumpkin, 1 cup of white Sauvignon Blanc wine, 2 sprigs of fresh rosemary, and 4-6 fresh sage leaves. Cook for about 15 minutes, until the pumpkin is tender and can be speared with a fork without falling apart. Remove the sage and rosemary and discard.
  2. Caramelize Onions: While the pumpkin is cooking, caramelize the onions. Add the sliced onions to a large skillet and cook them for about 10 minutes until they're softened. Then, add 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar. Continue to cook until the onions are caramelized.
  3. Preheat your oven to 450F.
  4. Prepare Pizza Dough: Roll out your store-bought pizza crust on a floured surface to your desired shape and thickness.
  5. Assemble Pizza: Cover the pizza with fresh mozzarella cheese. Add the cooked pumpkin and caramelized onions on top of the mozzarella. Sprinkle the freshly shaved Parmesan cheese over the pumpkin.
  6. Bake Pizza: Bake the pizza for 15 minutes for a ready-made crust or 25-30 minutes for a fresh crust, or until the cheese is all melty and gooey.
  7. Crispy Sage: While the pizza's baking, fry more sage leaves in about ½ inch of olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Cook them for 30 seconds on each side. Once they're crispy, remove them from the pan.
  8. Final Touch: After taking the pizza out of the oven, drizzle it with honey and add more shaved Parmesan. Top with crispy fried sage. Enjoy!
